Research workers of the German archaeological institute have discovered a mummy in permafrost at excavation work in Mongolia of approximately 2,500 years old.
At the "sensational find" of a sepulchre chamber of the Scythian rider people a crew of the German television sender ZDF were present.
In front of the camera the archaeologists opened the sepulchre where the mummy of the Scythian soldier was stored. The mummy, conserved in permafrost, carried still a fur coat and had a decorated gilded head ornament.
According to the scientists the discovery is similar with those of the legendary Ötzi in 1991, and the tattooed siberian ice princess from 1993.
GGG Ping.
Fur is dead.
Any notice of red paint thrown on the fur coat?
That was somewhat after the founding of Rome. There would be no reason to suppose that Rome was not in contact with China all along.
"Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of. And onto this, Conan, destined to wear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga. Let me tell you of the days of high adventure!"
Well, that certainly seals it for once and for all... Global warming has been proven. 2500 years ago in Mongolia they wore fur coats, while today in Mongolia they wear, um, well I guess that they still wear fur coats in Mongolia these days... Never mind...
Never mind it was just Helen covering a story.
Was he carrying his Scythian Express Card?
Did Europeans invade Mongolia before the Mongols invaded Europe?
A wool jacket with fur on the inside may have kept him warmer.
...and murder is nice and warm in the winter.
In some of the earliest letters from Scotland to the Pope they start off
"We are the Scots who were the Scythians..."
Mongolia, huh? This could explain a lot of behaviour at soccer matches.
Madonna?
Hmmmmm ice princess?
Hillery?
Aye laddie, but it doesn't explain our dresses.
Yes. I spent quite a bit of time yesterday putting this thread together. Interesting read if you have the time.
"tattooed siberian ice princess"
Um...I think I dated her.
Yeah, this must be the same ice princess I dated because she nearly started a revolt...after she died:
